After He Read My Mind, I Married a Scheming Man

Xiao Ling, heir to the Prince of Zhennan, was born into nobility and possessed the virtues of jade. The people called him the Bright Moon of Shengjing. That moon was perfect in every way, except for one thing: he had no interest in women. The Princess of Zhennan was frantic with worry. She summoned every female relative in the family and sent them to the prince’s estate, hoping to awaken her son’s interest in women. Xie Shu was among them. Xie Shu came from a lowly branch of the family and was, at best, a distant relative of the prince’s household. She was also one of their poor relations. When the women showed off their talents, she blended into the crowd and pretended to be good at it. To her surprise, Xiao Ling came straight over and asked her to perform on her own. She: “...” When the women presented gifts, she tried to pass off her horribly embroidered sachet as something worthwhile. To her surprise, Xiao Ling picked her sachet. She: “...” At a banquet in the prince’s estate, someone teased Xiao Ling. “There are countless noble young ladies in the capital, yet not one has caught the young prince’s eye.” Xie Shu lowered her head and tried to make herself small, repeating silently a thousand times: He can’t see me, he can’t see me, he can’t see me... But Xiao Ling only smiled without replying, his gaze passing over the crowd to rest on her. She: “...” This scheming boy is trying to get me killed! A reader’s guide: 1.

Currently updating: From Concubine’s Daughter to Marchioness After becoming an ancient-era concubine’s daughter, Su Tingxue decided to lie flat, refusing to compete or fight and keeping out of trouble. Her legitimate mother treated her fairly well because she was obedient and well-behaved, and arranged a marriage for her with the son of an old family friend. Her future husband was kind and upright. Although his family had fallen on hard times, he worked hard to improve their lot. She was quite satisfied with the match and planned to marry him once he passed the imperial exams. Who could have known that her second sister, also a concubine’s daughter, would try to win favor with their legitimate mother’s nephew by drugging him and forcing a compromising encounter? When her scheme was exposed, she fled in a panic. Unaware of what had happened, Su Tingxue walked right into the scene. Behind a half-drawn pearl curtain, in a dark blue bedchamber, the youngest marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty had a flush of desire on his handsome face. His cool eyes were damp, his breathing unsteady. He raised a long, slender finger toward her and spoke in a haughty voice: “Come here.” Su Tingxue: !!! * After their reckless encounter, she was initially terrified that he would cling to her. Fortunately, he seemed even less willing to mention it than she was, and remained as aloof toward her as ever, in public and in private. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to live her life, working hard to save up her dowry and waiting for her betrothed to come marry her. Then one day, she was cornered in a secret chamber, and finally learned that the idea of leaving no trace was only wishful thinking on her part. * Pei Huan was a man of elegant bearing and exceptional talent in both letters and arms. His father’s family was illustrious, his mother’s family distinguished, and in the eyes of the world he was a bright moon in the heavens. Born noble, he had always believed that love between men and women was something easily obtained in this mundane world. He never imagined that one day he would use every means at his disposal for a woman, taking her by force, scheming for her, and stopping at nothing. Theme: Every deliberate approach was made for you.
